Songs of the North


The largest sonic body of this collection belongs to the island of Silba, to its wilderness and uniqueness. It is a continuation of the Silba Sound Map I started in 2019, initiated by SEA Silba Environment Art.

Other than the magic of Silba, on my way there I recorded the Neretva river in Mostar, letting hydrophone into the strong whirls under the Bunur bridge while participating in the project Toxic Lands curated by Armina Pilav.

I also picked some noises from the catamaran Biševo, and a ferry boat cutting the horizon on the route Split – Vela Luka. The sea organ in Zadar, and some sailboat masts singing in the wind in Poreč marina too.
